Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are obligate symbiont and integrate with most of terrestrial plants. AMF belongs to the phylum Glomeromycota that cannot complete their life cycle without establishing a functional symbiosis with host plant. In the present investigation, Glomus intraradices Spores were surface sterilized and transferred to different media viz., one per cent water medium agar medium, Murashige and Skoog medium. Modified Strulla Romand (MSR) medium and white’s medium with root exudates of Agrobacterium rhizogenes MTCC-532 transformed hairy roots of chickpea. Surface sterilized spores were spread on the per Petri plate with five replications for germination test. The petriplates were incubated at 240C under dark condition. Spore germination study revealed that germination and germ tube growth of G. intraradices was influenced by root exudates in all the medium. The results have clearly shown that the MSR medium incorporated with root exudates recorded the maximum spore germination (93.3 per cent) and the highest initiation of germ tube was recorded at 35 DAI (61.05 mm).
